The west tower of St John the Baptist Church dates from 1629 and the nave and aisles are from the 14th century. The chancel arch is 13th century and is the oldest feature of the church which was very thoroughly restored by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. He also added transepts. The church is immediately south of the very busy Uxbridge Road and just east of what must have been the core of the old village with the Red Lion Inn across Royal Lane - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5707203 Unfortunately any vestige of a village has been destroyed by Uxbridge Road.
